I have seen this type of error message (also issued at lines in the *middle*
of some source files) before.

In my case, this was due to the fact that (a) the setbuf() routine on SystemV
behaves badly if you try to set the buffer to a buffer which is only 8
bytes or less in length, and (b) cplus-lex.c has not yet been fixed to account
for this System-5 specific problem, and (c) I was running G++ under System V.

If you are using System V, look at the calls to setbuf() in cplus-lex.c.
I believe that there are special #ifdefs in those two vicinities that
are for i386, and that the i386 case should be right for *all* system V
machines.

I hope that helps.

P.S.  The setbuf() routine comes into play because G++ saves the bodies of
inline routines away in "buffers" which it later goes back and re-reads.
